In a new renewal agreement approved by the city council on Monday, MID services will now expand to Belltown and additional blocks in Pioneer Square, starting July 1. MID will also put additional police teams on the streets to deal with drug activity and illegal behavior, begin new outreach services for homeless and mentally ill people and increase advocacy for transit and safe biking options downtown.

MID is a non-profit organization founded by the Downtown Seattle Association. You can learn more about the organization’s work here.
